Day 6- Stereo Hearts- @ygo5dsmonth2018
Your local friendly Stage Manager™ is here with all your Yugioh 5ds hits. If you hate musicals, you’ll definitely hate this, because this is all musicals. Welcome to theatre hell! I have a link attached to every song I mention.
Yusei Fudo- Boy Falls from the Sky (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark)
I'd be myself/If I knew who I've become/You don't have to fly too high/To get too close to the sun/See the boy fall from the sky
Jack Atlas- Not a Common Man (American Pyscho the Musical)
Look at history, open the books/There are statues with great looks/There are gods, there are kings/I'm pretty sure I'm the same thing
Aki Izayoi/Akiza Izinski- Monster (Frozen the Musical)
A monster, were they right?/Has the dark in me finally come to light?/Am I a monster full of rage/Nowhere to go but on a rampage?/Or am I just a monster in a cage?
Crow Hogan- Proud of Your Boy (Aladdin)
Tell me that I've been a louse and loafer/You won't get a fight here, no ma'am/Say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good/But that couldn't be all that I am
Ruka/Luna- In My Own Little Corner (Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella)
In my own little corner/Just as long as I stay/In my own little corner/All alone/In my own little chair/I can be whatever I want to be
Read below for more characters, ships, and OC Fun!
Rua/Leo- My Shot (Hamilton)
Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?/Sometimes I get overexcited, shoot off at the mouth/I never had a group of friends before/I promise that I’ll make y’all proud
I don’t think the song exactly matches Leo word for word, but the tone certainly does.
Bruno- Who Am I If the World Turned Upside Down (Finding Neverland)
I ignored the beat inside my heart for too long/Had accepted what was right/But always felt wrong/It's the second hand of time I'd been a slave to/But inside there was a feeling/Something I always knew/When the world turned upside down
I could’ve put Who Am I from Les Miserables to be a shit, but I decided to be serious. While If the World Turned Upside Down is a short song, the lyrics (in my opinion) describe Bruno/Antimony’s conflicting feelings with what was happening around him.
Sherry LeBlanc- Here I Go (If/Then)
Now I know all the motions/The steps to every dance/And I count cards at the table/I never bet on chance/I leave nothing to the gods/I know all the odds and even so/Still, here I go
Sherry is a wild card who doesn’t believe in fate, and will do anything to achieve her goals. I feel this song is an accurate representation of that!
Kyosuke Kiryu/Kalin Kessler- Raise a Little Hell (Bonnie and Clyde)
I can't take no more of this/This nightmare has to end/In this godforsaken place/Death would be a welcome friend
This is what I find myself thinking Kiryu would feel during his last moments in the Facility, or even while in his last fleeting moments before being arrested.
Jack/Yusei- Playing His Game (Death Note the Musical)
He's on the brink/He could win/I can't use the same plan/Time to start thinking like him
Not exactly a ship song, but hey, it’s an amazingly perfect rival song for the pair of them. And I can shamelessly promote Death Note the Musical.
Faithshipping (Yusei/Aki)- A Part of That (The Last Five Years)
And then he'll smile/His eyes light up and deep within the ground/Without a sound/A moment comes to life/And I'm a part of that/I'm a part of that
Yusei is the hero of the story. A lot of the time, he’s in his own world that Aki may not understand, but he tries to include her as much as he can.
Firebirdshipping (Aki/Crow)- Easy to Love (Anything Goes) and Perfect for You (Next to Normal)
So worth the yearning for/So swell to keep every home fire burning for/Oh, how we'd bloom, how we'd thrive>
I can't fix what's fucked up/But one thing I know I can do/I can be perfect for you
I had to pick two songs. The first one is sweet and slow. It describes how Crow loves Aki, despite the fact she might not believe she can be loved. The second describes how neither are perfect, and that’s okay.
Scoopshipping (Carly/Jack)- You’re Getting to be a Habit with Me (42nd Street)
No, I can't break away/I must have you every day/As regularly as coffee or tea/You've got me in your clutches/And I can't break free/You're getting to be a habit
I couldn’t not pick this song. Imagine this as a montage during Jack and Carly’s fun day at the park. It’s cute, quirky, and describes both Carly and how Carly ended up in Jack’s life.
Retributionshipping (Dark Signer Carly/Jack)- Dyin’ Ain’t So Bad (Reprise) (Bonnie and Clyde)
Seems you get to live your life just once/If that's how it's gotta be/Then I'd rather breathe in life than dusty air/Dyin' ain't so bad
This song was picked because both Jack and Carly were ready to die for each other. In the end, Carly may have saved him, but Jack was prepared to go down with her.
Toolshipping (Bruno/Yusei)-You Walk With Me (The Full Monty)
Is it the wind there, over my shoulder?/Is it your voice calling quietly?/Over the hilltop, down in the valley/Never alone for you walk with me
I was going to pick something else, but this song came on. I can hear this playing after Bruno’s passing. It’s such a sweet, but sad, song that describes what Yusei could be feeling after the fact.
Treasonshipping (Kiryu/Yusei)- Ever After (Bare: A Pop Opera)
So much for our ever after/I thought the good guys would triumph/I trusted the hero, I didn't hear his goodbye/I guess it was lost in the talk of a straight-acting coward
Yusei and Kiryu (Or Kalin, whatever you prefer m8) definitely had a rocky relationship up until the last notes of Satisfaction Town. This song specifically works for the Dark Signer Arc.
Roseknightshipping (Aki/Sherry)- Fight for You (Heathers)
Hey could you face the crowd/Could you be seen with me and still act proud/Hey could you hold my hand/and could carry me through no man's land/It's fine if you don't agree/but I would fight for you/if you would fight for me
This song is cute. Sherry was the one who introduced Aki into the world of Turbo Dueling. This song just fits.
Psychicshipping (Divine/Aki)- Dangerous Game (Jekyll and Hyde)
The frightened princess/Doesn't know what to do!/Will the ghosts go away?/Will she will them to stay?/Either way, there's no way to win!
This song is so so chilling. Meant to Be Yours from Heathers was a close second, but this one won out in the end. It’s just too perfect for me, and describes the abusive relationship Divine and Aki had.
Lina Kazukata- Journey to the Past (Anastasia)
Home, Love, Family/I will never be complete until I find you/One step at a time/One hope, then another/Who knows where this road may go/Back to who I was/On to find my future/Things my heart still needs to know/Yes, let this be a sign!
Lina is my OC from a fanfic called The Game Begins! This song, while she doesn’t have amnesia like Anya, accurately covers Lina’s fears of self-identity, finding family/where she belongs, and her hopeful optimism.
Lina/Yusei- No One Else (Natasha and Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812)
And your childlike eyes/And your distant smile/I’ll never be this happy again/You and I/And no one else
I feel this song perfectly captures the innocence of Lina, and of her relationship with Yusei. I don’t have a cool ship name for Lina and Yusei. Fite me. Shout out to Crazier than You from the Addams Family for being a close second!
Yuuka- Where is the Justice? (Death Note The Musical)
Show me what's right about/The wrongs that we allow/Real people need to feel/Protected here and now/This whole damn system's broken way beyond repair/It's just law, not law and order/Not much good and seldom fair
This is based on Yuuka Sasaki from @dearlybelovedfeels fanfic calling Waking Up Normal. Why this song? This girl is all about equality and justice, that’s why.
Stellarshipping (Yuuka/Yusei)- Shouldn’t I Be Less In Love With You? (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change)
Shouldn't I be less in love with you?/Shouldn't I address what time can do?/Shouldn't I be more inclined to flee?/Shouldn't I explore all I can be?
I tried finding a musical song I knew you wouldn’t know. I can see this song covering their lifetime together.
Bonus Satellite Angst Songs
Bonus Satellite Angst songs!? On my Tumblr post?! Yep! These are just some songs I feel capture that Satellite aesthetic ™
There's a face that we wear/In the cold light of day/It's society's mask/It's society's way/And the truth is/That it's all a façade!
Will I lose my dignity?/Will someone care?/Will I wake tomorrow/From this nightmare?
How do you start a fire/When there's nothing to burn/And it feels like something's stuck in your flue/How can you generate heat/When you can't feel your feet/And they're turning blue!
What I want? That's easy asshole/I want a job/I want to feel like a person instead of a slob/I wanna wake up knowing where I'm gonna go/Not going nowhere
Skid Row (Little Shop of Horrors)
Poor! All my life I've always been poor/I keep asking God what I'm for/And he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure/Sweep that floor, kid."
The Dark I Know Well (Spring Awakening)
There is a part I can't tell/About the dark I know well
